SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 450,005, dated April'7, 1891.

Application led August 20,1890. Serial No. 362,511. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON B. DEXTER, of Glendale, in the county ofBeaver Head and State of Montana, have invented a new and ImprovedAsh-Pan, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the annexed drawings, forming a partthereof, in which- Figure lis aside sectional elevation of my improved ash-pan. Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the grate and ash-pan, taken on line 2 2 in Fig. l; and Fig. 3 isavertical transverse section taken on line 3 3 in Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

The object of my invention is to provide an ash-pan applicable tofurnaces of various kinds, but more especially designed to be used l inmy improved ore roasting furnace, described in application, Serial No.287,374, filed October 6, 1888.

My invention consists in an ash-pan provided with a water-dischargepipe, and arranged in connection with the water-grate so as to receivethe cooling-water discharged by the grate and convey it, together withthe ashes, to the discharge-pipe leading from the furnace'.`

In the furnace-Wall Ais formed a fire-chamber B, in which is supportedthe tubular grate C. The said tubular grate O receives the cooling-waterthrough the pipe a and discharges it from the nozzle b. In the chamberB, belou7 the grate C, is arranged the asl1- pan D, furnished with adischarge-pipe c, which is of sufficient size to convey away the waterdischarged into the pan by the nozzle b, together with the ashesdeposited by the fire on the tubular grate C.

The water conveyed to the grate by the pipe a is preferably taken fromthe pipes and passages of the cooling apparatus of other parts of thefurnace; but I do not conline myself to this arrangement. The ashes andcinders falling through the grate into the ash-pan D are carried awaywith the Water through the discharge-pipe c, thereby obviating thenecessity of handling the ashes.-

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl. The combination, With the tubular grate C, 0f theash-pan D, furnished with the discharge-pipe c, and adapted to receiveWater from the tubular grate, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of the tubular grate C, furnished with theWater-supply pipe a, and

the discharge-nozzle h, and the ash-pan D,

furnished with the discharge-pipe c, and adapted to receive the ashesand cinders falling through the tubular grate C, and the Water-dischargefrom the tubular grate, substantially as specified.
